<p>If you're giving them away, you may be able to avoid the fees, but you'd have to say they're your private collection that you're going to be reading. Any hint of 'sales' and you'll get slapped with the duty tax. They can be strict about it over there.</p>

I just wanted to let you know something about the paper-size here, if you were to photocopy american-made zines... it's different! A4 is the standard copy paper, it's slightly less wide and a bit taller- 8.26 x 11.89 inches. This is a fairley recent discovery for me, that all countries in the WORLD except for the US and Canada use this format... which it really frustrating if you're tryin to copy american zines in europe! bring stacks of paper or else tediously scale down and resize and trim by hand each page (my current project for 9 different zines, uhg!)</p>
<p>It's not that much of a difference in size, but being a design freak it painfully bothers me to no end when all the boarders get trimmed of my zine or it's not even on the page... so just an FYI about paper formalities!</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
